Reply to comment by Reelplayer in Acceptable locations for a dishwasher junction box? by Jack_Mackerel

You're thinking of "readily accessible":

> The NEC’s definition of readily accessible states: “capable of being reached quickly for operation, renewal, or inspections without requiring those to whom ready access is requisite to actions such as to use tools, to climb over or remove obstacles, or to resort to portable ladders and so forth.”

Just "accessible" requires not damaging anything, but does allow removing screws.

I'm guessing it must be "readily accessible" and that's why it's usually located in an adjacent cabinet.

Thanks for clearing that up. Yes, removing screws and pulling out the dishwasher would definitely not count as readily accessible.
